MMA Boxing

im thinking about starting boxing in the fall...i did it for about a month this year but couldnt continue due to high school and making sure all was in order for graduation...now i have graduated and im going to a college around my home..i was wondering whats a good lifting routine for boxing...and how far should i run/how often?

...jump roping doesnt help you punch harder or block better....you need some lifting...i have been boxing before..i would be training with Virgil Love and he knows what hes doing im talking about stuff i can do when im not at the the gym boxing

its just going to fuck you over in the long run when you realize muscle eats oxygen. The benefits of conditioning especially shoulder endurance, as well as rhythm enormously outweigh whatever strength gains you could achieve.

i know that (i used to be a swimmer...alot of that applies to swimming as well) but im saying that as much as jump roping is needed so is muscle im not saying that im not gonna jump rope..cause im gonna im just saying you need to lift some...it helps provide the power so that you can hit harder

not a fucking clue. If your comparing the importance of lifting to rhythem/conditioning exercises thats just ridiculous. Muscle isn't even the main source of power, the nervous system is. Which brings me to my next point- if you want power to hit harder you should be working on form first and then heavy bag drills.
